The FAST TRACK AURORA
The Fast Track Aurora Field Development concept is a new subsea concept where we have focused on reducing CAPEX
and the environmental impact.
Together with our partners Subsea Norway AS, Jotne E&P AS and First Crude Engineering Inc we have met these new demands by designing low cost and low weight subsea manifolds to reduce the overall project cost. And it is not only material cost but also developing installation friendly subsea structures which are easy to install and retrieve by ordinary installation vessels. This has been completed without reducing material quality or designing equipment which can easily break.
We have focused on solid and reliable equipment that meets all international standards and with the functionality required by the oil and gas industry.
Basically, we made a whole new concept, starting with P&ID’s to see what was needed with regards to functionality and cutting down on all “nice to haves”. The Oil and Gas companies are asking for equipment to recover hydrocarbons, without spending a fortune on Capex, and that is what we have designed.
We have also focused on environmental impact at the design stage, and since our equipment is significantly smaller and lighter than conventional subsea structures the environmental cost for moving and installing is reduced with 50% compared to conventional structures. If the subsea equipment is as installation friendly as ours, intervention vessels spend less time offshore, thus reducing gas emissions, and as an extra bonus it saves a lot of installation cost. It is a win/win situation for our clients and the Environment.
